one night in bangkok


we've made it to Bangkok!  It's been an exhausting and exhilarating 48+ hours.  lots of attempts to sleep on planes (all 21 hours of those flights), some crappy movies, and lots of warmish airline food later, we've had a glorious night in a Bangkok hotel and our end is in sight.

now we're chilling in the Bangkok airport, awaiting the final flight.  lots of fun being had, clearly, as seen below.


the process has been pretty smooth so far, and it's been a whirlwind of names and faces.  so far, the entire K5 group of trainees, all 62 of us, seem pretty chill and ready for whatever's next.

there are 4 married couples (13% of the group), chris and i included, which is a somewhat high percentage, considering only about 8% of the corps is actually comprised of couples.

it's been a hectic few days- i actually have no idea how many days/hours have past- just that's been incredibly hard to figure out what day it is, what time zone we're in, and even- eep!- the birth control pill schedule when we essentially skipped over a 12-15 hour period. ha!

chris and i had a great final eve in the US- after our six hour flight, and only about three hours of sleep, we opted to not go out to dinner with others and just enjoyed a smattering of amazing food from whole foods.  it was a great final comfy american bed, and made the hours of flights somewhat better.

we've heard the next few days are about being a human pincushion and getting to know more about Cambodia and the PC.  wish us luck and i'll be back with more as soon as i can!
